The Unforgettable Fire
The Unforgettable Fire is the third studio album produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois and released on October 1, 1984 by Island Records. The album was recorded on 2 and 3 September 1984 in London, England, at the Royal Albert Hall, London. But they still wanted to, so they recorded the album in their own studio in the basement of their London home, with the help of some friends.

Rope Sect - The Great Flood Review
Band Bio: Formed in 2017 Germany's Rope Sect is a doomy post-punk band. Though their band camp labels them also as black metal and death metal, which while hearing their sound you might not think of these genre tags but the influences of these genres are ever-present if you listen enough. This band is relatively new having only a small collection of releases beyond their debut EP, Personae Ingratae which hooked me in as a listener on first listen. Beyond Personae Ingratae they had a split single in 2019 called “Handsome youth” and a single in 2020 called “Lava”. There is an air of mystery surrounding this band, in a good way, kind of like Ghost when they debuted, which would be a good comparison to state as their sound could be summarized as a more goth/deathrock version of ghost. To the extent when reading up on other reviews and just trying to get info on the band for a bio I mostly find things like "Rope Sect is a conceptual project that's supposed to be defined by its music, lyrics, and art. Private details, names, or related bands are simply irrelevant. So with that being said let's do just that and stop trying to define a who but just revel in this interesting desolate album.

Woo - 'BLACK OUT' Album Review
In many ways, 2018’s Af was the true kick-start of what would evidently be a successful career for Woo Won-Jae. Sure, there were songs like the magnetically fast-paced chart-topper “We Are,” and the introspective double-single Anxiety, but it wasn’t until the 23-year-old tried his hand at a long-form extended play that audiences got a true taste of what the young rapper was all about. Thus, when the unabating pensiveness of his prior releases was allowed to combine with a more fluid, coherent structure and larger-scale ideas, it was only natural that fans started to flock to the man who was, at the time, AOMG’s youngest signee.

"TWICE AS TALL" MY EXPERIENCE/REVIEW.
Personally, I didn’t come across the tracklist and official announcement for the release of the musical genius fifth studio album until a few days ago, when tons of tweets rolled out and it was impossible not to be aware that the African giant was about to unleash gems upon the world.

'The Diving Board'
For his next album following his very successful collaboration with Leon Russell The Union, Elton John once again turned to producer T-Bone Burnett, who suggested that Elton return to the piano-bass-drums lineup that had served him well in his early career. Accordingly, the majority of this album is anchored by Elton on piano, Raphael Saadiq on bass , Jay Bellerose on drums (lyricist Bernie Taupin considers Bellerose one of his favorite drummers according to his memoir, "Scattershot".) and Keefus Ciancia on keyboards, with Davey Johnstone and the touring band left on the sidelines. Bernie Taupin wrote all the lyrics for the album in just a few days time. Elton described it as his most exciting solo record in a long time. The album was originally to be released in the Fall of 2012 but numerous delays pushed its release to the Fall of 2013.

DAVIDO: "A GOOD TIME" review.
Davido is the new sensation and talk of this generation when it comes to a lot of topics apart from the familiar entertainment scene with which he is associated with. His style, presence, bogus lifestyle and swagger puts him in the news time after time.

Album Review: 'To Better Days' by Slaves
In light of the brutal murder of George Floyd, the band made a statement that they will be changing their name. This is the final album under the name Slaves and is the first album with new vocalist Matt McAndrew. This album is in the point of view of all things that go wrong in someones life, and just looking for a way out. An absolute banger album with heavy chords and beats throughout. Let's dive in!
